Un día después de que la Asamblea Legislativa aprobara un plan que cambia el Primer Distrito Congresional de un distrito competitivo a uno controlado por los republicanos, los votantes ya solicitaron a los jueces federales impugnar el nuevo mapa.
Miembros de la comunidad, personas defensoras y familias de Carolina del Norte realizaron el evento De la Memoria a la Resistencia: La Salud No Puede Esperar, una actividad inspirada en el Día de los Muertos que rindió homenaje a los habitantes del estado que han perdido a sus seres queridos por la falta de acceso a atención médica.
“Nearly 600,000 children in our state could be without food in a few days because USDA is playing an illegal game of shutdown politics,” said Attorney General Jeff Jackson. “They have emergency money to help feed children during this shutdown, and they’re refusing to spend it. I warned them last week that I would take them to court if they tried to hurt our kids, and today that’s what we’re doing.”
“No matter what form of transportation they choose, every North Carolinian should be able to travel safely each day,” Gov. Stein said in a release. “These grants will help us reduce traffic fatalities in North Carolina.”
North Carolinians have begun to feel the disruptions and effects of the shutdown more sharply, something advocates and government workers warn could get worse by mid-November.
As food assistance demand is high and supplies are limited, community and peer-to-peer support are very important as we navigate these difficult times. We need to not only support food banks as much as we can, but also support each other.
“Thousands of families were going to have the option to install solar power, save money, and have another energy option after a major storm. Now the EPA has illegally cancelled those funds – so I’m going to court to bring $150 million back to our state,” Jackson said in a press release.
A long-standing initiative led by UNC-Chapel Hill to strengthen early childhood education across North Carolina is facing an uncertain future after losing federal support. The US Department of Education has recently written a notice to UNC-Chapel Hill, cancelling the federal grant that funds the university’s impactful SCRIPT-NC program.
La administración de Trump aconsejó a los beneficiarios de la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA) que se auto-deporten y advirtió que no están automáticamente protegidos contra la deportación. Trump prometió llevar a cabo el mayor esfuerzo de deportación masiva en la historia de EE. UU. durante su campaña, y rápidamente tomó medidas para aumentar la aplicación de las leyes migratorias tras su regreso a la Casa Blanca. Sin embargo, ha enviado señales contradictorias sobre DACA.
For storm-ravaged communities, little has changed. Aid has been slow, and Whatley has been largely absent from the disaster zone, with Smoky Mountain News reporting that Whatley has “rarely, if ever” visited the area. Records show the FEMA council has met only twice in seven months, totaling about three hours.
As the child of immigrants and a first-generation American, I have lived the reality many of our lawmakers ignore. I grew up in a community that thrived through hard work, mutual aid, and resilience. My parents taught me love, compassion, and the value of helping others — lessons far removed from the greed and power games I see in Washington today.
Like millions of mixed-status families, I witnessed how my siblings faced the constant fear of family separation, even though they were born here and became U.S. citizens.
Since last Wednesday, over 140,000 North Carolinians have not received paychecks. During previous shutdowns, Americans being forced to work without pay has led to a rise in worker absences, and some have left government service altogether.
Furniture for America, a trade group led by the Home Furnishings Alliance in High Point, responded to the announcement in a detailed letter to the Trump administration.
